It continued: “The building will have a simple rectangular footprint measuring some 15.5 metres in width by 10.9 metres in depth, with a very small forward projection containing the main entrance to the building. Accommodation will be provided over three floors, the second floor being enclosed within the roof space served by dormer windows in the front and rear roof slopes.”
The planning statement also said there are 13 proposed parking spaces at the rear of the site, two of which will be wheelchair accessible and five of which would have electrical charging sockets. A detached cycle store for eight bicycles is also proposed.
The planning statement added: “The proposed building has been designed with a domestic aesthetic to reflect the existing character of the area and is of a complementary scale and design to the dwellings immediately to
the east.”
Danworth Holdings applied via its agent Dowsett Mayhew Planning Partnership. The application also proposes 20 full-time employees at the site.
